Jffc3 THB ETTTSBTJR&' DISPATCH. - SUNDAY. OCTOBER- 6, 1890.' "A 18 WM Judging from local indications already apparent the National Encampment at De troit next year is going to eclipse even the one at Boston. Comrades who were at Bos ,ton will hardly believe this possible to suc cessful was it But the comrades here are already actively engaged in preparing for ths trip by organizing "Detroit Clubs" and is oth t ways mating arrangements. Post 157's Excursion Association is increasing at every meeting and much interest is mani fested. The reception and hop to be given at Turner Hall by the association on Halloween promises to be a very enjoyable affair. The arrangements are well under way. Tickets can be procured from Com rade H. Ij. Hobnrg, Xb. 362 Fifth avenue. The membership in Post 157's association is not confined to members of the post and their families, but is open to comrades of any other pot and tbeir families. A movement is on foot in Post 3 to go to De troit in strong numbers. The Entertainment Committee now has charge of the movement. At to-morrow night's meetiug the committee, of Inch Comrade W. W. Scott is Chairman, will report on a plan. A special committee will hkeh be appointed to have charge of the arrangements, it is expected that 150 members of the post will take the trip. Post 41 Hill likely be in line verv soon. A large number of the comrades are desirous of going and the result will likely be a Detroit club. The Dost adorned the clan of orrramzin" long ahead before the Columbus encamoment two years ago and were very much pleased with it. At that time the post made the best showing In its history. Others will likely be heard lioiu soon. Ihe comrades in the eastern end of the department are not behind and the Detroit clubs there are flourishing and increasing. Memorinl Hall of I be Reserve. It is cot generall) Known that the Fennsyl . vania Reserves have not given up their idea of erecting a Memorial Hall on the Gettysburg battlefield. 1 hey have not by any means ana the hope is largely existent among them that before long their pet desire may be accom plished. Many of the "Reserves" live here, principally the Ninth and Tenth, but more especially the formr. It was the "Reserves' ' Intention to use the S1.500, which the btate allowid each regiment fur a monument, for the purpo-e of building a beautiful Memorial Hall of stone. The "Re-erves" were composed of 15 regiments. 13 of infantry, including the Bucktails (-harpshooters) one of cavalry and one of artilleri. All of these regiments vas to throw its 51.500 into one fund and bnild the hall m which the history of each would be recorded on stone. But the Gettysburg Me morial Association would not allow any such thing to be done so each regiment erected its own monument. But now a movement is on foot, and it will likely come to a head this winter, to ask the Legislature to change the law so that there can be no objection maae to the placing of the hall on the battlefield. An appropriation will be asked for for the pnrpos ts of the building. It is understood that General Crawford, one of the Reserve" has a piece of ground on the bat tlefield which is considered just the site for the memorial uaii, ana mat ne will donate it to the Seserves.

Members of the Exchanee Yote by a Large Majority to Sell the Building. THE SEWS AND GOSSIP OP TEE CITI Those who witnessed the crowded condi tion of the streets yesterday must have been impressed with tbe fact that Pittsburg is a busy place. Liberty, Smithfiela, Fifth avenue, Fourth avenue and Wood, at differ ent times during the day, were literally jammed with nil kinds of vehicles strug gling for right of way, while pedestrians watched for breaks in the long procession to enable them to cross, which was olten at great personal risk. Mr. George Hetzel, the artist, witnessing a blockade on Smitlifield street, remarked: 'It beats all. It Is plain there is not enough street capacity in Pittsburg for the business. We need more streets." Tbe comer policemen were kept busy straightening out things. One of them took time to say: 'People who think we have a pudding are badly mistaken, and if they were to stand here a few minntes they would admit it. It's bard work, to say nothing of the re sponsibility." "Let us dodge Into this store to escape the crush," said a gentleman who wanted to de velop a bit of news. It was like jumping out of the frying pan Into the Are. The store was so full of buyers that standing room was at a premium. And so all through. Tradesmen of every sort bad as much, and often more, cus tom than they could conveniently attend to. Saturday is always a big day in Pittsburg, as uearly everywhere else, which in part accounts for yesterday's congestion of space, but practically tbe same thing ocenrs every day in the week, showing that the city Is full of business and running over. The suburbs are catching tbe overflow. In all other directions evidences of thrift were not wanting. Manufacturers were on the jump getting ont orders and arranging new ones, bnilders were busy from cellar to roof, tbe markets were thronged everyth'ng be tokened a degree of prosperity rarely vouch safed to any community. If Thackery were living be would postpone indefinitely tbe time for the New Zealander to weep over the ruins of Pittsburg. At tbe Clearing House substantial proof was obtained of tbe correctness of the optimistic plctnre, or, rather, silhoueitte, drawn in tbe foregoing, the week's clearings of the banks showing considerable gain over tbe previous week and also over the corresponding week of 18S9. The gain this year to date over ttfS same period of last year is nearly S112.000.000. This should be satisfactory. Tbe outlook for the present quarter is favorable to an improve ment on the one just ended. Will ell the Exchange. At a meeting of members of tho Pittsburg Petroleum, Stock and Metal Exchange yester day it was decided by a large majority to sell the property.UTbere was a large attendance, and much interest was manifested. The tickets voted were: "In favor of selling the real es tate," and "Against selling the real estate." Voting closed at 8 o'clock. When tbe result was announced it was found that L200 shares had been voted in the affirmative and S3 in the negative. Ihe directors are empowered to sell the property at public or private sale at a price not less than 1150,000. A bid of 160,000 was re ceived soon after the polls were closed. The sale of the property will not disrupt the organization, which will remain intact, charter and all, ready with a big surplus to prosecute business in other and less expensive quarters, where a new element will be admitted in the hopeof interesting investors in home securi ties as la tbe halcyon days of old. Post 543'e Ccinpfirc. The campflre, reunion and bean bike of Post &5, of Bennett, on Wednesday evening, was a most enjoyable eient, It was held at Evergreen Hamlet.

A uuiuler of tbe Pittsburg comrades were ac compan ed hj their wives. The ladies' aux lliarj served an excellent supper in Mechanics' Hall. The camphre was held in the Methodist Church, close at hand, and it was crowded with the veterans, their ladies and friends. There was lo s of enthusiasm and plenty of good speaking and music. The Drummer Boy nt Homestead. The "Drummer Boy of bhilob," given in Homestead during tLe past week, for the benefit uf the monument fund, was a decided suece-s. Among the characters who deserve special mention were Uncle Joe. Fa.iner How ard, Farmer EUwI. Johnny Ilowaid. Colonel Mulledge, ttank Ru lcat,c ana Faily bmtlh. who were all amateurs except UncleJoe who together with fatly t-mttA, kept the sma'll boy lu a continuous roar by their well timed jokes and witticisms. The character of Frank Hut-ledg- was so well impersonated that in the En-o i hcene manj were tbe exclamations of atred and disgust heard in the audience while hisses and groans were beard on everv side. Ihe male members of the caste presented the manager, A F. Nail, with a very hand some ring as- a testimonial of the high esteem in which he is held by them. Sons of Veterans.

The following, furnished by a local banker, may be useful in the detection of counterfeit notes, ot whieb a number are in circulation in this city: All United States Treasury notes issued prior to 1869 were printed on plain bank note paper. All issued since, commencing with tho series of 1S69, are printed on fiber rjaper. Most of tbe old issues were counterfeited, as the paper used bad no special distinctive feat ure, engraving being mainly relied on by the Government to prevent imitation. As numer ous counterfeits appeared on tbe old issues, tbe Government was obliged to adopt, in 1E69, a special paper, the distinctive feature of which was a narrow localized tint of short blue fiber running the entire length of the sheet in such a manner as not to lessen its strength or interfere with the printing. When examined under the microscope these fibers have tbe appearance of coarse black hairs of different lengths and shapes, scattered promis cuously, regardless of regularity, over the en tire surface. This paper is known as tbe Wil cox patent. In 1S78 another feature of fiber papier was adopted, somewhat similar, with two silk threads rnnning lengthwise through out tbe note. This is known as tbe Crane pat ent. Tills paper is still in use. The threads are quite distinct under the microscope. They cannot be seen in the counterfeits. Saved by n Key. A veteran bank officer, who -has had a hab itat on Fourth avenue for 40 years or more, told the following story yesterday: "The Bate we used when we opened up for business, and for a long time afterward, had a ponderous door, and was considered absolutely burglar-proof. Perhaps It was, but a modern cracksman conld open such a thing in about two minutes. The key was about two feet long, and weighed nearly four ponnds, and It was part of my duty to carry it Hived in Allegheny City. Going home one dark night after a bard day's work at tbe bank, I was stopped by a big burly fellow, who wanted to know tho time. Instead of pulling out my watch I drew and leveled tbe big key at tbe man, who no doubt thinking it it was a ho.-se pistol, turned on bis beel and made off as fast as his less could carry him. I thought more of the key after that." permits issued this year tp date is 1,351, repre senting 2,107 buildings.

The Brenk In Luster tbe Principal Event of the Week. , The easier condition of the money market tbe past week infused a little mere vim into the local stock market and the sales were bet ter than for some time, footing up nearly 1,500 Shares. Still, investors were cautions and in disposed to operate except when bargains stared them in tho face. They wanted a sure thing or nothing. When everything is prosperous and many opportunities for investment are presented, stocks are sure to suffer, owing to a certain proportion of uncertainty which all speculative Interests possess. This is sufficient to explain the lethargic condition of the local stock mar ket Real estate is its principal competitor. The break in Luster was the feature of tbe week. A few holders lost patience, or confi dence, and realized, but the bulk of the stock, being in strong bands and backed by confidence in tbe outcome oftbe property, was held out of the market, and so tbe flurry, having little to feed on, soon ran itt course and a reaction set it The close was at a 1uateri.1l recovery $1 25 from the lowest point reached on the break. Other changes were slight Philadelphia Gas, Electric, Switch and Signal and a few others of tbe leaders improved tbeir standing. The Tractions were dull and weak all through, something difficult to acconnt for, since It is clear that all of them are earning money, fcalesiesterday were seventy shares of Phila delphia Gas at 30Uc and CO shares of Westing nouse .ciectric at ;ia EXCHANGE STOCK.

There was no particular weakness in the price that could not be ac counted for by tbe absence of buyers, but this was a wet blanket to business, which was of small proportions Clearlncs were only a little over 200,000 barrels. Fluctuations were as re stricted as business. They are appended for the day and week: stringency at rest except as tbe market may be affected by the boarding of money owing to the apprehensions above referred to. 'ibis morning traders sold stocks because tbey de clined yesterday, and partly because they ex pected a decrease in the reserve in tbe bank statement And yet neither of these things was any legitimate reason for a decline in stocks under tbe present cirenmstances; first because stocxs bad already bad such a great decline that tbey must be nearer the inevitable turning point and next because money was still freely offered for loan on call on stocks this morning at 3 per centt The declining ? rices bave undoubtedly caused further and nrtber liquidation, and the liquidation has caused furtber decline. It Is, of course, appa rent that this cannot go on always without a sharp reaction. There bave as yet been no failures in connection with the stock market and none rumored.

Compnrntlvo Activity In the Market Bean Make nn Effort to Shnke Out Lone Stocks riio Cry of a Bad Bank Stntement, New Yoek, October 4.Tho stock market to-day was comparatively active, but the ac tivity was of tbe usual sort made entirely by the operations for a decline and the weakness was most pronounced, approaching nearly to complete demoralization, and the losses in curred during tbe short session of only two hours compare favorably with those of any full day of recent date. The bears made what would seem to be one final effort to shake out long stocks, and no donbt but that considerable liquidation was accomplished In all portions of the list with the single exception of Lacka wanna, which was the only stock which re ceived any snpport whatever. The cry was "A bad bank statement," and after tbe issue or the statement, which was made unusually early, the most determined drive of the day was made and in tbe downward movement, which had been heavy throughout, was per ceptibly accelerated. The opening was made at lower figures, the losses from la-t night's prices extending gen erally to per cent, but Kansas and Texas tf as exceptional, with a loss ot per cent. Tbe downward movement went but little farther for the time being, tbe trading element start ing in to cover, but tbe movement lacked vim and later all those stocks were thrown over and the bears crowded the marlf et with an avalanche nf Rhnrt fttiutlru whti-h hrnlr. th. m.rlrat hqill. especially in tbe grangers.

A Sharp Upturn In the Grain Pit Every thing ictlve and tllgher Corn Said , to be Tnralnc Out Poorly- Perk Lifeless. CHICAGO Wheat There was more life to the market to-day, and a higher range of prices was established. Tbe feeling was decidedly stronger, in tbe oversold condition of tbe market was tbe sharp advance of to-day no donbt attributable. Many of the' dealers who were buyers the past day or two wero sellers, and sellers of the past few days were buyers. The unexpected happened, and operators felt a little-nervous over tbe situation. Some Barties tbougbt the market a healthy one. thers were rather doubtful and thought It only a scaro to force in some large traders. The opening was lUe higher than yesterday's clos ing, and there was some excitement attending first sales; then eased off c for December and c for May, advanced, and closed l2c higher tnan yesterday. Corn attracted more than usual attention, a. large volume of business being transacted within a broader range than any day this week. Ihe feeling developed was much stronger, and higher prices were the rule on all futures. Tbe advance was due largely to the purchases of May by several large local bouses, two of whom took in all about 100.000 bushels. Reports were received from the West stating that corn was busking ont poorly. First trade3 were at an advance of J4c. the market selling up an other ic, reacted Va. then sold up lc. eased nn e, ruled firmer and closed with a li;4c gain, Oats Tho animation and advance in wheat and corn bad a good effect on tbe market for oats. Opening sales were Jc advance for May, and a furtber appreciation of c was recorded. The other deliveries advanced &c with light trading, and tbe market closed steady at about outside figures. SMess pork Trading was moderate; opening sales were made at 2Jo advance, but prices settled back again 60 with very little business reported; later prices rallied 67a and closed steady.

Tux Army and Navy Regiiter, ths official organ of the regular service, rather severely criticises the New York Gnard on tbe quarrels and courts martial that are going on in almost every regiment In that State. Ic suggest that if a vigorous stop is not soon put in tbe affairs, a commission should be sent to Pennsylvania to find out how an efficient body of State troops should be managed. THE Gray Invlncibles, of the First Brigade, bave lodged a complaint with General Deckert on account of the alleged treatment the organi zation received in connection with the Mt. Gretna contests. Captain Hallstock complains Clos- I that bis company is not allowed to enter a team lug. I because tbe organization Is composed of col ored men. He thinks that if his command is good enough to be in the Guard at all it is good enough to be represented in the State matches. John Goll, a member of Company C, Six teenth Regiment ac Bradford, was shot in tbe leg by Lieutenant Frank Bradley, while at rifla practice last Friday afternoon, and died threa hours later under tbe surgeon's knife. Goll was attending the target and stepped out from Z!i behind it without raising tbe danger signal. Lieutenant Bradley is wen Known inrougnous the Guard as being one of tbe finest shots in the State, being a member of the Pennsylvania team at Creedmoor last fall. The time for the contest forthe Brown & Hlrth medals bas been finally set for October 18 at 11 A. M., on the range of the Fourteenth Regiment at Saltworks.

Consid erable interest is felt in the sport, and better scores than last year maybe expected. General Skowden, in conversation with a gentleman recently relative to tbe Mt, Gretna contests, at which be was an interested specta tor last month, made the statement that be in tended next season limiting the teams from the different organizations to enlisted men only, and that hereafter officers would be prohibited from taking part in any of the State matches. His reason for taking such a step is that the rifle Is the particular weapon ot the en listed man. and that In the contests it would give more Incentive to the rank and file should snnh restrictions be made. From another source It was learned that the Adjutant Gen erals uiuce uousiuera uie annual contests en tirely too expensive, as many of tbe teams ara filled up witb officers who draw tbeir full pay for tbe trip. General Snowden has in view a scheme to arrange for pistol contests for offi cers, as ba desires them to become proficient in that arm. Should General Snowden's schema be carried out, many of the crack teams of tba State would be placed in the shade, and the future contests becomo much mora uncertain. Icr. Canada Ice. For sale by B.

A dry. hacking cough set in. I could feel the matter constantly dropping back into my tnroat, which kept me hawking and raising to clear It. My throat became raw and sore, so bad at times that I could not speak above a whisper. 'Sharp palos like tbe stab of a knife would take me in the region of the heart and through tbe cbest; night sweats came on and weakened me terribly: my nights wera restless, and I would arise in the morning all worn out, I was always hungry, but feired to eat, dreading the consequences; no matter how little 1 would take on my stomach it would cause me a miser able feeling of nausea and alstress there.
